No, I definitely prefer my own people. I'm not suggesting that other med staff of other races are perfect, but I do not want to be around people who believe that the ONLY reason they could EVER be faulted is because of their race.

We are spiritual people and they knew that so they exploited this way back which is how they captured you by making us believe that God was white like them. It was a whole scam and they're using the same tactic from back then but there are ways to decolonize and unlearn their BS. I'm going to give your a few books to start out with because you have to "Renew your mind" about racism and how to combat it and recognize when it's being practiced right in front of your face because it's like a magic trick. Every trick has an answer but if you know it then the trick can't work because you can't be fooled by it. That is how they use racism; they have to make you believe that it doesn't exist and that everything that is happening to you is "ALL in your head" so just go back to sleep and I'll tell you when to wake up. 1.

Lies Across America by James Loewen (also Sundown Towns) Check thes out.

I remember seeing a dermatologist that said I needed to cut my hair because "Black people aren't supposed to grow their hair that long". It turned out to be psoriasis. I had an ER doc tell me I had a UTI when I had a tumor (she assumed I was a drug addict). I've had medical professionals ask "are you sure that's the baby's father?" more than once... I was married. I've had MD's dismiss my mother while she was having a heart attack. The list goes on and on. It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid of providers who aren't African American because I have no idea if they're actually treating me as a patient or addressing a stereotype.

It’s no secret that Sutter hospital in Antioch, CA treats or at least treated its African American patients like trash. I stopped getting treated there a while ago and going to other hospitals further away and getting better treatment. I remember going there in the middle of the night as a teen due to an excruciating toothache 9:59 and I was in so much pain I was crying and the nurse told me they were not going to help me until I cut it out and that no one shakes their leg because they’re in pain so they thought I was faking it because I was shaking my leg which actually is a way I deal with pain. She gave me lorazepam to sedate me and left me in the room with the door closed for several hours without checking on me. Every time I went there I was treated poorly like I was an inconvenience to them. My friend had a horror story about them allowing her grandmother to lay in her own blood for hours while she was dying. I can go on and on about Sutter health.

Aggressions and microaggressions are agonizing actions that Black people face constantly.

Lord knows why he didn't give me that talent because if someone refused my care, I would just move to the next patient, and if they die, they die. I would never try to force or convince them to take the medical care!!

The black nurse treated me the best I still remember her it’s been 10 years

I also say that I have no problem going to a black doctor, currently my doctor is Indian, and anyone who stuck it out to get a degree for becoming a doctor, gets a huge amount of respect from me. I want to live in a world where everyone has a place at the table, and is treated equally.

My advice is to be confident and competent and to stay abreast of the latest developments in your field so you can do the best first your patients. I had a white young dermatologist repeatedly inject my small confined keloid on my chest with some kind of steroid. Now what was confined to a small area is now spread over a much larger area of my chest. I had a white dentist who wanted to extract my wisdom teeth at age 69. I told him I have never had a problem with them and that was the end of that. I’m now 72 and still no problem. I had an Asian nurse practitioner want to prescribe me drugs for high cholesterol but everyone of my cholesterol values were in the mid normal range. My A1C was 5.3 and my glucose was 83. When I asked her why I need cholesterol lowering drugs she said, “they came up with this number 19” which I have no clue what that means. She want the prescription to the pharmacy and I picked it up and has never taken it. It is very important to be informed and ask questions whether your doctor is black white or other.

I had someone ask if I was the receptionist.

2 of my doctors aren't even American born as well as nonwhite and i would rather see them than over many other doctors in the same field do to one simple reason. How they treated me compared to the others. These 2 doctors saw ME not my health issue as well as listened to me and let me run things by them other than make choices for me like many other doctors have. Not in any way disrespecting white doctors as my primary is white and i all about love that man. To me if they are great in their field then who gives a flip about the color of the skin we all bleed red. Also Thanks to a black doctor who even though he couldn't really preform the surgery he still came up with the way the surgery as well as the 'tube' that is used for babies that are born with blue skin thus saving so many lives. (His friend who was certified to do the surgery did it for him with the black doctor telling him word for word what to do". A heart transplant or something linked to that was done by a black doctor and that is used today. Blood type was also discovered by a black man who do to stupid laws died on the steps of a hospital all because he was black and the hospital was a white only hospital. Before you judge a doctor or any one that is in the medical field do your research and find that thanks to a colored person you are able to have this surgery or treatment.

Racist people in high power positions make it difficult for black men/women to be treated like any other doctor. We taught you everything about medicine.

God bless these doctors !!!!!!!! ❤❤

Thank you Doctors for your service …despite it all.

Unfortunately, no matter what level of success we achieve we’ll never be accepted. As a commercial pilot jump seating to get to work I’ll get the third degree from airline staffers. They will see me in full uniform, credentials and still ask, “are you a pilot.” I’ll just smile and say, yes.

We have to stop seeking their acceptance. We don’t need there validation.

It's a 2nd job being in America obsession,jealously,intimidation, prejudice, and on going daily scrutiny

These African-American doctors should not feel ashamed for their accomplishments. If they happen to come across patients that do not want their care then they should oblige them and allow them to pick doctors that they want. Until we have self-respect and not grovel and not beg people we will continue to be treated in the manner that we are. If a patient does not want your care then it is your responsibility as a doctor to let them choose what they want even if that's not you as a physician. I would also encourage doctors when patients make these types of choices to add into their scheduling a cancellation fee. You're worth and value does not come from the validation of society. We as an African-American people have to accept and realize that the majority of people see and view us this way when we accept that we will be able to move through society smoother without being hurt all the time.

Praying 🧎‍♂️ for them god bless you doctors 🥼

Thank you for covering this story. It has been our unspoken story for decades and decades. The efforts of Dr. Hamilton's staff and others like them gives me hope; ultimately, my deepest hope is for a better life, not in America, but in eternity.

Thank you to all the black physicians present in this segment. You are an inspiration to the black community. Most importantly, thank you for creating a path for us younger black folks. We will make it through this.

Thank you for bringing this story forward. Black Doctors at a medical organization in CA have experienced racism as well and it’s so disheartening. We need more black doctors 😢

This is so inspirational. Thank you for your work.

I’m proud that you are speaking out. We went through this as well as medical physician and nurse.

I felt my eyes well up with tears while watching this and then the tears fell. This hurts my heart so bad because it’s really a shame or so sad what Black people experience because of the color of our skin. We are not all bad people. We are human people just like everyone else and we deserve to live and to be respected and accepted just like anyone else. Three years ago I moved to a predominantly White county and I have been harassed and psychologically and mentally abused the entire time by White tenants and the rental office will not do anything about it. Where does it end?

My cousin was Chief Resident, extremely bright, and a superstar young surgeon at prominent program. Waiting in the room with the patient he had done surgery on, the white nursing supervisor thought he was the housekeeper (she actually said janitor), we were flabbergasted that this happened in this day and time where we have excelled in so much.

Dear people- My wife and I are so sorry you and your family, your peers STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS... I am so sorry. I wish you were in our area, you would have a new patient. You have our compassion and our warmest regards and best wishes we all see this hurtful, awful prejudice behavior come to an end. Our hearts go out to you and everyone who experiences this cruel and ignorant behavior. Our hearts go out to you and this horrible ongoing issue. Please remember, you are not alone. Sincerely L

Every black and brown doctor needs to always know that black people have been doing difficult surgeries longer than white Caucasian. A black American doctor was the only neurological doctor that successfully separated twins at the head. The twins grew up healthy and both brains did not have any damage. Black doctors did cataract surgery before white Caucasian doctors. People need to focus on the track record of the doctor and how he or she treats his patients.🤩🥰😍🤗🤗

I'll gladly withhold care from a bigoted patient refusing care. You'd better believe s/he would be stuck with that decision no matter what.

@@MariaSantos-em5jv they do too then when an emergency happen they start screaming for us. What they don't seem to understand is demanding wht nurses/dr's increases the workload for wht staff. It lightens our load but our pay doesn't change. Those wp given that extra load gets real pi$$ed and they make those patients the LOWEST priority. I pass meds in a certain order to please pts who go to bed early 1st (I used to work evenings) then pass the rest and one of my earlier patients demanded wht staff. I had no problem complying because I knew what that meant: those 10 pm meds I gave at 9 was now going to be given 10:30 or later. I was right. She started screaming for me to "can you just get my meds for me please?" I'm only to happy to tell her "I'm not your nurse tonight but let me inform your nurse. She'll be in as soon as she can. " I never worked with that patient ever again and when she called me, I inform the wht nurse "she's calling for her meds." They don't understand that's "don't touch me" demand is one that we honor until that last great day. 🤷🏿‍♀️

my daughter faced the same issues at Western Illinois University. She was told by the department share that black girls do not do well in the nursing school after graduation with a non-performing degree in food science she received a certificate of nursing from our local junior college it is now a RN, practicing in Illinois in Indiana, her white colleagues not all of them are Hostile Too Black patients by being unavailable with information and treatments two of my doctor buddies one a radiologist one a nephrologist stated the same thing you guys are talking about is not a medicine is an industry and technology. It's in construction. It's all throughout stem. We are always fighting to move forward.

I APPLAUDE ALL 3 OF THESE PHYSICIANS NOW AND ALWAYS, STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR PATIENTS AND THEIR HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND FIRSTLY YOUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS MOVING FORWARD IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME

Dr., you don't need to change your skin color or ethnicity. You're BEAUTIFUL! It's their lost...not yours. Please don't lose any sleep over it. It they don't want you...NEXT! I work in health-care and I have no problem saying NEXT! I ❤love the skin I'm in and wouldn't change for the world.

There is NOTHING for you to change!The complete You is Beautiful, Intelligent, Functional and You hold yourself's with Grace and Class! I Salute You All!

This brings tears to my eyes because it resonates all too well. From my own birth story (mother turned away by Cooper Hospital, suggesting that maybe she had an STI instead of being in labor. Mind you, she was accompanied by my not just her husband (my father), but my Grandparents (a medical doctor and Psychiatrist Nurse)! I was crowning by the time they got home and my grandfather delivered me in our home! The same hospital put me in small dimly lit room (no bigger than closet) away from the other babies, because I was considered a “dirty birth” after being (forced to be) born at home! -Anyway… my own birthing stories as a military member on instillations were no different. Mistreated by staff (talked down to or threatened while in labor). Ugh

These doctors gave me chills of joy and sorrow and of recognition as an educated Black mother and woman.

Great coverage. It's my opinion, ABF, not only shines in entry level positions but; shine in the greater spectrum of career professions too.

As a white man who provides primary healthcare in a black owned and operated family practice, that consists of five distinct clinics, with the majority of the staff that are either black or Hispanic, I can say the standard of care is equal to or exceeds the other nonblack practices I’ve worked for. The demographics of my patients consist of white, black, Hispanic, Muslim, Christian, Buddhists, atheist, Asian, insured, uninsured, etc., It’s an enlightening and interesting environment. I wouldn’t trade the experience for another. My boss sold all 5 practices to a huge healthcare company who shall remain nameless. It’s only been 6 months since that change. I am already thinking about retirement at the end of the year.

Thank you for this report. Doctors, thank you for your service. You are heroes who we honor daily. Keep on breaking those walls. Nothing will stop us.

Love you guys, may the God Lord keep giving you strength and peace!!!

@2:29 WTH I can't believe someone would be so incredibly meanspirited & ignorant as to judge this man's surgical skills based on his race. For him to turn around and still agree to help her after she said that to him shows his kindness, integrity & professionalism. Hats off to Dr. Gibson!!!!!!!!!!

DEFINITION OF RACISM.

I work with doctors some of them Black. Funny thing is, the black doctors have a surprisingly high Caucasian clientele.

It's actually very complex. I'm a male nurse and nursing instructor with travel nursing experience accross 13 states and I can say some white clients will rather have a black RN or doctor because to them for these professionals to reach that stage means "they are exceptional" at what they do. Some also feel professionals of color will "feel added pressure" to provide excellent care to them. There are black clients who show disrespectful and jealous attitudes to black professionals and there are white clients who will simply disrespect or not trust a black professional. In all, the most important thing is not paying attention to these things even though it's hard, and focus on providing comprehensive care to your patients!!

That's because they have most of the money, so they can seek out professionals. Some don't have access or very limited access.

That is the ache that most of us African Americans feel… I’m a mom of 7; boys to men… “A” student, honor roll, respectful, ROTC… but they are black boy’s nonetheless and I have to have the conversation about racism and how Society views, redlines, profiles, discriminates etc…

This so so sad, it hurts my heart to know another person could be so hateful and disrespectful in to another person. I don’t care what we look like we all have red blood in our veins, I a heart that can be hurt and we are all from God. Dr. Hamilton you have a sweet attitude and spirit. Keep yourself no matter what others do. 👍

Crying shame America!We must face the reality of permanent racism for America.Glad I'm relocating to South Africa for my family future.

I have a doctor that is black. He is very talented, caring, and professional. I am white. I feel very cared for. Color should not come into play.

The assistant cryed and its her first time, woman just imagine going through that from childhood. Hope that experience qave her a small example how Africans in white countries feel and go through every day.

Black and white are both extraordinary human beings. I love black doctors and nurses, as well as white doctors and nurses. They all do a great job. I appreciate all their services.

Thank you for sharing

let's doctors get together and build our own

I was an occupational therapy assistant student and encountered prejudice during my fieldwork. As a blk gay male, i struggled even on the job to do my job as many of my patients were wht and many of them did not want me to work with them on ADLs. Ive since quit the profession as it was too much of a struggle to even try and do my job.

Sir, DR. Please don't stop helping. God bless you and your family🎉❤️🎉

We love and need you Dr. Smith King
